## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) BEFORE LANDING FLIGHT CREW VERIFIED 3 GEAR DOWN AND LOCKED INDICATIONS. CREW REPORTED NORMAL MAIN LANDING GEAR TOUCHDOWN AND NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER CONTACT WITH RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT HAD MINOR DAMAGE AND THE CREW WAS NOT INJURED. FAA POST ACCIDENT INSPECTION FOUND NOSE GEAR MOUNT ASSEMBLY FAILED CAUSING GEAR TO COLLAPSE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
